Eating too much can increase visceral fat! Try to touch these super NG protein sources as little as possible
Nutritionist Gao Minmin also emphasized that in addition to taking in more good protein, you should also “seek good luck and avoid bad luck” during your daily meals. The following protein sources have been processed and seasoned and should be avoided by eaters or office workers:
Processed meat categories: sausages, ham, bacon, hamburger steaks, vegetarian steaks. During the processing of many meat products, chemicals, preservatives, and seasonings are added, and meat products with high fat content are also selected. Excessive intake may even cause cancer risks.
High-fat meat: three-layer pork, roasted pork, pork belly, chicken butt. Meats with excessive fat content will turn into cholesterol and triglycerides in the body after excess calories are absorbed. If coupled with insufficient exercise, it can easily lead to the accumulation of visceral fat.
High-temperature fried foods: fried tofu skin, fried chicken steak, fried meat. Frying food at high temperatures will not only destroy the original nutrients, but also increase the intake of more fat, leading to the accumulation of visceral fat.
Finally, nutritionist Gao Minmin reminds the public that good protein sources are not limited to meat. Plant-based proteins such as beans have lower fat and cholesterol content, are richer in dietary fiber and phytochemicals, and are suitable for vegetarians. It is recommended to consume part of plant-based protein every day instead of animal-based protein; beans such as edamame, black beans, soybeans, etc. are all good sources of plant-based protein. In addition, a high-protein diet combined with strength training can also help weight loss people “build muscle and lose fat” more efficiently.
